"Go ndeontar suim bhreise ná raghaidh thar £2,578 chun íoctha an Mhuirir a thiocfaidh chun bheith iníoctha i rith na bliana dar críoch an 31adh lá de Mhárta, 1931, chun Tuarastail agus Costaisí Oifig an Aire Rialtais Aitiúla agus Sláinte Puiblí, maraon le Deontaisí agus Costaisí eile a bhaineann le Tógáil Tithe, Deontaisí d'Udaráis Aitiúla agus Ildeontaisí-i-gCabhair, agus Costaisí Oifig Chigire na nOispideul Meabhar-Ghalar.
That a supplementary sum not exceeding £2,578 be granted to defray the Charge which will come in course of payment during the year ending on the 31st day of March, 1931, for the Salaries and Expenses of the Office of the Minister for Local Government and Public Health, including Grants and other Expenses in connection with Housing, Grants to Local Authorities, and Sundry Grants-in-Aid, and the Expenses of the Office of the Inspector of Mental Hospitals."
It will be remembered that under the State Lands (Workhouses) Act, 1930, certain moneys had to be paid into either the Treasury or the Central Fund in respect of leasings of workhouse lands from the time of the passing of the 1924 Act. Provision was made that they would be paid to the Minister for Local Government, who would pay them to the areas in respect of which they were raised. The sum of £439 is part of these moneys. The additional sum required under the School Meals Act is £685. That is partly in respect of school meals in two towns in which there are town commissioners, Mullingar and Ballyshannon, and which availed during the current year of the provisions of the School Meals Act, 1930, which enabled towns of that kind to come in. A sum of £655 out of that amount is to cover the excess anticipated in the State grants for the provision of school meals to other school authorities showing an extension of the school meal system. A sum of £2,648 is in respect of school meals in the Gaeltacht arising out of the passing of the School Meals (Gaeltacht) Act, 1930.
